Abstract

The automorphism group of the Petersen Graph is shown to be isomorphic to the symmetric group on 5 elements. The image represents the Petersen Graph with the ten 3-element subsets of {1,2,3,4,5}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\} as vertices. Two vertices are adjacent when they have precisely one element in common.
